Irwin Mitchell

Irwin Mitchell has announced a record number of associate promotions for the fourth year running across both its legal and group services teams for 2016.

In all, 14 business legal services lawyers, 14 in personal injury and seven private client lawyers from teams including family and contentious probate are among those being promoted. Two further associates have been promoted in group companies Ascent and IM Asset Management as well as 12 from group services, the business support function which includes marketing, IT, finance, risk and compliance and HR.

Group chief executive Andrew Tucker said: “I’m delighted to confirm and congratulate another record number of associate promotions this year. Developing our people is a key priority, as they are the ones who will drive us forward and deliver success for our clients.

“Becoming an associate is a significant career step and I’m proud that the 51 promotions come from many different sectors of our business, showing what a diverse group of specialists we are building here at Irwin Mitchell.

“Although our promotions are made on merit alone, an equal gender split reflects the diversity of our group and our new associates are also evenly split across our northern and southern offices, showing the increasing strength in depth we have across the UK after a transformational year for the group.”
